I would really like to change the motor on my Unimat SL and this looks perfect. I have bought the scooter motor but am struggling to remove the drive gear from the shaft. There is a retaining flange on the end of the shaft but even after removing this and with a gear puller, i am unable to pull the gear from the end. Any hints? Time to get the Dremell out? Many thanks for any advice, John

Thank you - that was very helpful advice. I can confirm that the belt sprocket comes off easily after removing the circlip, grinding off the peaned end and gently heating until lightly smoking and then gently tapping with a drift punch. The sprocket didn't seem very brittle - I gave it a good bash on the anvil after removal without much effect other than squashing it slightly.
